About
The disc contains moving choral music written by two of the most significant composers of the 20th century. At its world premiere in 1986, Alfred Schnittke’s “Concerto for Chorus” was said to be “revolutionary”, whilst Arvo Pärt remains one of the most popular composers of the present day.

this is a performance that accumlates power and authority as it proceeds, and the blazing conviction they bring to the work's third and fourth movements - powerfully shaped by Peter Dijkstra - makes for a richly rewarding listening experience.

Dijkstra is a master of choral forces and his talented Bavarian radio choir perform persuasively and with compelling devotional intensity. Nothing seems unduly forced. The sacred text is vividly projected with the voices blending splendidly and with immaculate intonation...I count these wonderful performances as among the choir’s finest achievements to date.
